Ingredients
- 2 4-ounces fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillets, skinned (thawed, if necessary)
- 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning or ground black pepper
- 1 small orange, thinly sliced
- 1 cup small broccoli florets
- ⅔ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon minced roasted garlic or minced garlic
- ⅓ cup whole-wheat couscous
Instructions
STEP 1
Brush fish with soy sauce. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning (or pepper).
STEP 2
Preheat oven to 450°F. Place the fish in a greased 2-quart baking dish, tucking under any thin edges. Bake, uncovered, for 6 minutes. Arrange the orange slices on top of the fish. Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 4 minutes more.
STEP 3
Meanwhile, combine broccoli, broth and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring just to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 2 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Stir in couscous. Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
STEP 4
To serve, spoon the couscous mixture onto two serving plates. Arrange the orange-topped fish on top of the couscous mixture.
